1/144 RG GP01FB: WIP 1+ Core Fighter Completed

The core fighter is completed for now. I will be doing additional things at the end of the build such as spraying jet exhaust on the thruster tips, painting the landing gears, and beam saber handles. If I can keep the pace I am working at up for the next week or so, I will have this kit done before my deadline of December 17th.

Thanks for viewing as always!

1/144 RG GP01FB: Weathered Build WIP 1

Hey guys! Long time no see! I remember saying that I would only be working on my Genosaurers for about a year but that totally did not happen. I have one of them about 60% done but don't want to show it until it is complete.

I've been away for so long because I recently started a new job, have been spending more time with my girlfriend of 4 years (our anniversary is right around the corner), and have been playing games pretty much whenever I'm not working.

There's not really a lot to say about my work on this kit. Well, except for that it is being made for a 3 way build off with JustiniusBuilds and Big Z. As always this model is post shaded, using olive drab on the sand colored parts, and red-brown on the red parts. The rest of the core-fighter is drying up some gloss black enamel for the metallic paint (duraluminum and aluminum) I plan to use. I have also finished the RX-79 commission I received so long ago and will be putting up pictures of that kit next week. Stay tuned for more! The build-off deadline is December 17th 2013 so if I wan't to stand a chance against Justin and Z's busted asses, I have to actually finish this kit. I know, me finishing a kit, sounds crazy right? Thanks for viewing!

MG RX-79(G)WIP 2

So I basically just wasted a good day and half on a really stupid but annoying problem. When removing the seam lines on the torso, all were taken care of with plastic cement and primer filling, except one. On the left side of the torso where the front and back pieces connect, there was a stress mark and the front pieces didn't match up with the back. This made it so that seam was never properly cemented together all the way. So after filling with primer and and sanding and repeating over and over again I said **** it and used some epoxy putty. Each time the front piece would just flex and bend down breaking the filler during the process of sanding. As a result of all this hoo-ha over one damn seam line there was some over sanding so, I layed the putty down thick and sanded it back into shape. Now I'm back on track.

There will be one more WIP post, and then I'll put up a finished display post after decals, panel lines, and weathering.

As always, thanks for the view!

MG 1/100 RX-79(G) WIP

With the Real Grade Mk-II out of the way I've finally been able to get back to work on other things. This is a kit a received a long time ago as  my commission. I've sold a finished kit and received a few more commissions since. My client let me know from the get go that I could work on this kit very leisurely and take my time, since I don't have much of that anyway. Having said that, it is time to get this done. I'll be removing some seamlines, painting the head, the blue parts, the red parts, the yellow parts, and finally the armory next. All panel lining will be done in brown/grey enamel to account for the owner's style preferences. After all that is taken care of I will be very lightly weathering this kit with some chipping and streaks. It should look pretty decent with the reddish brown shading done to prepare for the other weathering steps. I should have this done in about a week or so, so check back soon!

Colors thus far:

Frame: Alclad Duralumin + Testors Window Tint (smoke)

Armor: Mr. Color Flat White shaded with Mr. Color Red-Brown.

            Mr. Color Flat Red shaded with Mr. Color Red-Brown+ 10% Flat Red

Thanks for viewing as always :)

Anything I'd say right now, I've already said before in my WIP posts. It's time to bring this project to an end for right now. Until the dio, and onto new things until then! Make sure to stop by and check out my MG RX-79(G)  Ground Gundam commission display soon!
